A conversation on life, film-making, and the power of building a legacy in the 21st Century.
What do you get when you put together an emotional story, a family’s love, and a creator with a unique skill to tell a story? You get "Can I Have a Mask?" from my friend Sahan Jayawardena. The short is the winner of the Best Animated Short (Venice Shorts Fest), Best Animated Short - Gold Award (Independent Short Awards), Outstanding Achievement in Animation (Indie Shorts Fest), and the Best Animation - Honorable Mention (Top Short Awards).
“I’m very interested in family legacy, especially being a Sri Lanken family.”
-Sahan Jayawardena
In our conversation we talk about how he got into film, how his siblings paved the way and no one stopped him in the pursuit of his dreams, and what he is focused on today.
